Guest N4S Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Season approaching soon. I don't have as high of hopes as most but I still think we'll do damage. I think our defense will struggle this year and be inconsistent. My prediction is that McNabb will be pass happy this year and have huge numbers. Possibly number 3 fantasy QB this year. Who knows.

ballorama Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Meh. I think we will have a good regular season... not sure if Division Champs or so.. Giants are still there. But I think playoffs we should be able to make.. let's hope for no more injuries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artesticle Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I was so excited for this year. The Stewart Bradley news really sucks [expletive]. Regardless though, we have a very young squad. I'm looking forward to seeing how the guys (on defense especially) step up. Also can't wait to watch the revamped o-line in action. We got Maclin signed so that's a plus as well. Not sure how much time he will see on the field next year, but a DJax-Maclin duo will be deadly in the future. Also can't wait for the Westy-McCoy 1-2 punch. In all, still excited for the season. But disappointed as well. Bradley was one of the guys I was really gonna keep an eye on. He was supposed to break out this year and lead the defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly3rs18 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 i like this defense, but their success will depend on joe mays. if he can do decent enough to hold the defense together then i think they could have a huge year. the other hole if with the coach, but i have confidence in McDermott, hopefully he can fill in and become jim johnson jr like his is supposed to become but i expect a good playoff run from this team, nothing less. there is a huge young core here, and if things dont work this year then we are still set for years to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artesticle Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Joe Mays? I thought Gaither was gonna start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly3rs18 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 oh i have no idea, i just heard mays somewhere and assumed he would start. id rather see gaither anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest N4S Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I really think Mays is going to get the nod. I been hearing since the Bradley injury that Mays is getting the majority of the training camp reps with the first team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artesticle Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Mays is a tank, but I think he's more of a special teams type of player. I don't really know too much about him, but he's undersized. I do know that Gaither is solid though, nothing special. Interesting to see how this turns out, but fortunately for us we have depth.

Guest N4S Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 They should sign and test Derrick Brooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artesticle Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Takeo Spikes 2.0!!! lol But yeah, I wouldn't mind the idea of a one year deal. Gaither is just average, and Mays is only 5'11. We need more vets on D as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest N4S Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Spikes did good for us though that one year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly3rs18 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 i am all for signing brooks to a 1 year deal. eagles still have tons of money too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artesticle Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) We've had a [expletive] load of injuries in training camp. Ingram and Bradley are out for the year with a torn ACL. Shawn Andrews apparently hurt his back again (who knows how long he will be out this time). Kolb sprained his MCL. Cole sprained his shoulder. Victor Abiamiri is out until the preseason. Desean Jackson injured his knee, although it wasn't too serious. Something happened to Jason Peters as well, because he's been sitting out in camp. Baskett just got carted off the field with a knee injury. I know this is football, and players around the league get injured in training camp, but is this normal? I don't remember hearing about all these injuries last year, or any other year. Andy Reid runs a very physical camp, maybe he should tone it down a bit? I know the Cowboys don't even tackle. lol Or maybe I'm just overreacting. Just seems like a lot of hurt players before the season even starts.

fly3rs18 Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 and the cowboys havent won a playoff game in 13 years, so who cares how they practice, its obviously failing but the injuries are kinda crazy. i didnt hear about the andrews thing, but i know cole, jackson, baskett, and peters arent too serious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artesticle Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 I don't mean give up tackling, just maybe tone it down a bit. I dunno, maybe I'm over reacting but I don't like entering the preseason with so many players banged up already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly3rs18 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 i know what you mean, i was kidding a little bit. but i think it is more luck (or lack of) then it is how they run training camp. injuries like this havent happened much for the eagles in the past, and i highly doubt reid has changed his practices much.

fly3rs18 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 i dont know if that made much sense, but what i meant was, the eagles practices are the every year. its just by chance that this year a ton of guys got hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artesticle Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Yeah I understand. man I hate [expletive]ing injuries. I was so pumped for the season too, but these injuries are killing me. I expect these types of injuries when the season starts, not in training camp. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Preseason game tomorrow, I might be going to it I'm not positive as of now. I'm most looking forward to how McNabb looks out there and I really want to see McCoy. And to the idea of signing Derrick Brooks I say eff that. He is done and injury prone. Joe Mays reminds me of Trotter and I think he can really step up this year. Obviously not to that magnitude, but I'm expecting good things.

The Artesticle Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) I like Joe Mays too, but doesn't his 5'11 height put him at a severe disadvantage. At least height wise he'd certainly be. I think I'm more comfortable with Omar taking most of the minutes. He started for us before and did a fairly decent job. He also likes to talk a lot of [expletive]. Edited August 13, 2009 by Jagmit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitty Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Methinks Andy needs to tone down the camp a bit..jeez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artesticle Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 preseason game!!! Sheldon Brown just picked off Brady. McCoy the rookie has been great so far. D a bit shaky, along with O-Line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly3rs18 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 mcnabb is looking great, as well as mccoy. but the o-line is fine. they have tons of injuries and it will take guys like peters a few weeks to get used to everything. all things considered they are looking good. but the d-line is pretty bad. i think they needed to get another d-end. but they are missing cole right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
